The vision of the Faith Community Network and Volunteer Chaplaincy Services program is to provide a full range of programs and services that will turn around the lives of troubled youth and ensure that voluntary chaplaincy services are available to youth and their families during times of family crisis.

The Foundation serves to changes lives - the lives of students, their parents, and the citizens in our community - by promoting delinquency prevention, intervention and educational opportunities for youth.

The Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent, and Chronic Juvenile Offenders stresses adequate resource allocation at each stage of a continuum from universal prevention through prevention, diversion, probation, residential placement, and re-entry. Youth are served in the least restrictive placement appropriate, reserving residential placement for the highest risk youth. Prevention services are made available to at-risk youth with intervention services and a system of graduated sanctions targeted for offending youth. A Disposition Matrix has been developed and will be implemented in each Judicial Circuit. The Disposition Matrix is a structured decision-making tool that will guide juvenile probation officers in their recommendations to the court.
